A NEW BEGINNING

Even though i like the new-age idea of expanding consciousness, i'm critical of a lot of the methods of doing this.

How can we ever discover our full human potential, without using all of our senses?

By exclusively focusing, we are presently missing something extraordinarily basic about the nature of life.

Oneness as an Everyday Experience

presence, is normally understood as a result of grace, long years of prayer, forgiveness, moral living, and devotion.

But by using the senses as animals do – the active direct panoramic awareness to change happening here and now in our local environment – we can experience a degree of oneness, in a matter of days or weeks.

It is ridiculous to ignore this experience just because it divorces oneness from its normal religious context.

And it's blind for agnostics, atheists, and sceptics to reject the experience just because it reminds them of religion.

Panoramic sensing doesn't require any faith, any morality, codes of conduct, laws and commandments, or belief. But there's no need to give up any other belief (unless it's so closed-minded that it rejects what animals can teach us). It also doesn't involve any money, secret initiations, oaths of allegiance, or clever theories.

This isn't a new belief, it's a natural ability, it's basic to life. It's not a mystical experience, it belongs to everyday human life.

An added practical point is that forgiveness, selflessness, and social morality can develop far more easily as a result of experiencing oneness − rather than as preparation for it.

The Simplicity Beyond Belief

If we go back to the "Who am I?" "Why am I?" questions – and ask "Am I all I could be?" "What is my potential?"

The panoramic mode of perception adds a totally new dimension to the basic human psychology. It changes the fundaments of human potential and experience.

It's a new perspective on what it means to be alive and real. A new depth of what it means to be human.

It may never be as potentially powerful as love, forgiveness, prayer, or meditation could be, but it's a new beginning. A new, unbelievably simple, starting point.
